Australian Open 2016 - Day 3

[pepsi]

Kyrgios attitude is so clearly scripted at the moment, he loves the image and doesn't have people around him to guide him it seems.

There is a lot of show and pr about it. But its gaining him attention and $$$ and fans.

As long as he keeps playing good tennis I'm ok with it. I just put the tv on mute, put some music on and it's a hell of a lot of fun watching Kyrgios at the minute.

Would be court 18 if LPno1 got his way...

How? I actually like Dasha and I said from the beginning she is the best chance Australia have on the womens side. No issue her being on RLA...it is the other rubbish ones that somehow find their way on RLA/MCA that I have an issue with.

 

[Redline]

Personally I don't think Kyrgios should be playing doubles. Surely he would be better having tomorrow off.

 

[rippersnipper]

Kygrios' mates look proper dodge too. Wonder if that's why he is a bit of a campaigner

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Like you wouldn't be happy with Berdych vs Kyrgios.

It'd be a decent match and I'd get to smile in person at Kyrgios losing. But that'll be on RLA or Hisense to bump ticket sales.

Gavrilova or whoever the **** is playing doubles is the AUSSIE!! I'll see.

Quick question. I have 1 account with william hill and am betting on a lot of tennis matches due to their aces promo. I'm having some success. My question is can they shut down my account for solely betting for the promo (ie $20 min on each match favorite)?

Doubt he will play, probably pull out tomorrow.

 

[BobbyMorri]

they will put one of those matches Hisense(fed,Joke,Nick), and proclaim that you could see Kyrgios(most likely) on a ground pass, ignoring the fact that u really got to be dedicated to do so. last year, they seemed to like to have one match on Hisense for that reason. think Joker is 95% at RLA , due to defending champion status and world number 1 player.

Kei and Joe are good for MCA. they both have certain fans but perhaps they could move Federer to a MCA if they really need to sell tickets in a session, and have one of Koe on Hinsene. doubtful though.

Doubt it, if it is a promo, it is a promo, simple.

Don't underestimate the experience playing in front of big crowds, the confidence boost and feeling of acceptance of the Australian public gavrilova would have gotten out of the Hopman cup a couple of weeks ago.

We were talking about Kyrgios/Berdych and it Was tongue in cheek.
They could both be playing on RLA on Friday night, wouldn't surprise me.

Doubt it, may not have either one of them. To do that, one of Federer/Djokovic isn't playing RLA, and I just doubt it. Dasha is probably a MCA match, Nick is probably MCA or Hisense.

 

[pepsi]

So many good men's matches on Friday.
Fed vs dimitrov
Tsonga vs Herbert
Kyrgios vs Berdych
Thiem vs goffin
Nishikori vs ggl
Civic vs Bautista agut

They all have the potential to be great matches.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

You just can feel the 'Baby Fed' Hewitt-like commentary coming can't you...

 

[Warsaw]

Day session at RLA (bit of a snooze fest, Fed & Dolg went alright). Then to Hisense for Kyrgios. Get why people hate him, constant bickering with the umpire and looks of incredulity towards the linesmen and at one point it might have been a ball girl (wasn't completely sure). Which isn't endearing but he is imminently watchable. Can look past his w***erish behaviour (which may or may not ever change) to see him play good tennis.

Great to hear about Dasha getting through.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Why do people call her Dasha?

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Why do people call her Dasha?

It's her nickname and she's on record as saying she prefers it to Daria.

 

[ozgamer]

Why do people call her Dasha?

Euro-style nickname.

Maria Sharapova's nickname is Masha.

A nickname for Michaela would be Mischa etc ...

Yes, seems like a lot of PR is involved with Nick as he does attract the attention and the media will always write about him.

Putting aside his antics, he is actually playing some good tennis at moment.

 

[Rukia]

Fed vs dimitrov
Djokovic vs seppi (most likely)
Kyrgios vs Berdych

Ahhh what are AO organisers going to do? You would imagine one mens during the day on rla and one night rla.

So which of the 3 matches won't get rla?

Kyrgios last night said he'd play all his games on Hisense if he could, so Kyrgios will 'miss out' if you can call it that.
